the opening ceremony: communication we all have different masks we wear. we are complex individuals with complex personalities. we all have multi-dimensional personas. as we reveal the hidden layers to discover our true selves… we are still complex. i am sweet, loving, angelic, and angry, unheard, demonic. i have wept and I have laughed. i have lived. i am alive. i mirror you like you mirror me. I unveil the masks you wear. we live the perfect life you and i. war, peace, fight then love. truth, deceit, honor, corruption. lust, hate, warmth, cold. fear, faith, more, then less. success, failure, adventure, stagnation. life is a journey. this is perfection. be brave temperamental angel.

temperamental angel sliding in the riverfeeling the mud stick between my toes. i’m alivebut my body’s struggling to compose.i’m thinking… i think too much.what if i had never experienced this period in my life?would i have been an ignorant waste of time?i’m a sucker for conventional romanceand i’ve never truly experienced the chanceto be treated like an angel,a temperamental angel.

i thought he was coolbut in retrospect i’ve been a fool, pretending…but then again love is blind.i’m alone… you’re born alone, you live along, you die alone.must we accept the cards we’re dealt?it’s crazy to be denied in life.i’m a sucker for conventional romanceand i’ve never truly experienced the chanceto be treated like an angel,a temperamental angel

so will you save me?i’m waiting for my resurrection.go on and save me,i need your true protection.

i’m the type who’ll never walk away from youbut hurry over before i’m broken in to two.will you treat me like an angel?even if I’m a temperamental angel?i’m a sucker for conventional romanceand i’ve never truly experienced the chanceto be treated like an angel,a devil and an angel.

flying, over oceans of empty silence.floating in my dreams i'm my own innocence.will i find my arrow where i aimed so high and mighty, and my dignity?will my pilgrimage into the yonder reach me to the land of plenty?plenty of love, plenty of lifeplenty of time to make things right.desperate people wanting more than treasure.reading all the obstacles as life's measure.will i cross the river to the other side of paradise?.. maybe…will i see the rainbow like the fairytales my mother told so plenty?plenty of love, plenty of lifeplenty of time to make things rightplenty of peace, plenty of patienceplenty of all the things i deserve.can somebody hear me?and all my dreams that jumble up inside?from different places of my lifelike signposts on a foggy road,where i've been and where i go - they tell meI’m heading for the land of plenty...silence, listen to the dream and touch it.shh, let it come, while I'm blindfolded.maybe thinking very hard what's in my hand is what i dreamt of yesterday.maybe if i look around i'll recognize that i've arrived already.plenty to climb, plenty to becomeplenty of oceans and wilderness to conquerplenty of love, plenty of lifeplenty of time to make things rightplenty of peace, plenty of patienceplenty of all the things i deserveplenty, plenty of everythingpromises i make to myself everyday.let it be, let it rain on me, even on a hot hot day,so i can remember what I've seen along the way.i want to take hold of everything i dreamed, i've seeni'm reading the signs, plenty of signs…i can hear the child within, calling metelling me there's plenty, plentyplenty to climb, plenty to becomeplenty of oceans and wilderness to conquer.

I thought playing second fiddle was the worst, until I played no fiddle at all

disgrace you don’t control me, my creativity it’s my own mystery your lack of synergy so don’t suck me into the vortex ‘cause it’s just sex and I’m tired of playing games. i’m slowly boiling, quietly seething with my own feeling i lack the grieving so don’t suck me into the vortex‘cause it’s just sex and i’m tired of playing games.

i gave you everything, you still want more. i got nothing more to give ‘cause i gave it all before. you walk on my face, it’s a disgrace that you give nothing in return is my lesson to learn.

i’m a riot when i’m alone i think of all the times your words turned my body into stoneyet you suck me into the vortex when we have sex and i’m tired of playing games.

i gave you everything, you still want more. i got nothing more to give ‘cause i gave it all before. you walk on my face, it’s a disgrace that you give nothing in return is my lesson to learn.

you don’t wanna know how i lost my innocence i gave my soul and my fingers are worn to the bonei’m a woman scorned but . will be born again again.

you disgrace me so don’t suck me into the vortex ‘cause it’s just sex and i’m tired of playing games.

i gave you everything, you still want more. i got nothing more to give ‘cause i gave it all before. you walk on my face, it’s a disgrace that you give nothing in return is my lesson to learn.

on the outside looking in

why do you love me still?why do i feel so lonely on such a sunny day talking to you? why get so sad and turn away if i continue to hurt you, why do you love me still?

i try to be so careful with all the words i say i need your arms around me i need you to see the beauty in me why can’t you take my laughter, sweet and so tender when It’s all i can give? i don’t feel any wiser if i’m so wrong for your spirit, why do you love me still?

you’re needing a woman who loves with fortitude but when she is drowning how can she save you, how can she know what to do?

i’m laughing, i’m crying i’m losing, i’m dying i never do right and you’re not satisfied, i’m tormented inside. maybe apart we’re better, where i do not hurt you and you can be heard. you have been so forgiving, tell me

why do you love me? why do you love me? why do you love me? why do you love me still?

i will not resent, i will not pretend, i will not hurt, nor revenge be sought

touch me blinded like a fool I always cried i never knew i could feel this way inside never wanted before never knocked on my door. tell me like it is when I’m with you i want the boom and the crash and the symbols too i wanna tear down the door i want more and more and more.

the resurrection of our inception is when you had to drive through the desert just to find me. my gravitation in your direction you can do anything you want to satisfy me.

you can – touch me – anywhere you want to i won’t be offended. rush to me – and every time you do I’ll do it right back to you – do it right back. it’s coming on strong i can feel it in my bones don’t leave me in the dark of the catacombs i wanna tear down your door like never before.

i’ll tell you what i want i’ll tell you what to do suffocating in your every move will you give me some more? while I swim around the floor.

i can feel the crush, i can feel the rush i will drive through the desert, just to find you. i’m liberated, satiated you can do anything you want, cause I love what you do.

you can – touch me – anywhere you want to i won’t be offended.rush to me – and every time you do I’ll do it right back to you

and while you do i will be yours…

i can feel the crush, i can feel the rush i will drive through the desert, just to find you.i’m liberated, satiated you can do anything you want, cause i love what you do.

you can – touch me – anywhere you want to i won’t be offended. Lust for me – and every time you do i’ll do it right back to you. rush to me – anytime you need to see my hands extended. crush into me and all the while you do i’ll do it right back to you – do it right back.

i’m a renegade, an only child, a survivor and i have unleashed the warrior spirit within.

alive how peaceful is the sun, when it shows itself behind the clouds. it takes me a while to feel it’s kindness but i’m learning to feel again.

running though faded dreams I am surely to touch some sorrow but now i am rising through and I’m losing the hurting.

lost in my thoughts l was drowning, was drowning but every time i listen to my heart i’m learning to feel again. blood seeps out slowly, it takes time to heal the wound but i’ve lifted the dagger and i’m losing the hurting.
